Fruit, leather and oud over caramel
Rasasi Hawas Lava Gold is an Eau de Parfum that opens with grapefruit, pineapple, apple and lemon, darkens through leather, oud, saffron and raspberry, and ends on patchouli, amber, moss and caramel. Bright fruit over a dark core makes for a big contrast, so a 10 ml decant is the practical test before the 100 ml bottle.

The composition
The curve shows the order in which the notes come forward, not their strength.
On the skin
Grapefruit, pineapple, apple and lemon open the perfume with what FragranceGems calls an immediate, fruity freshness and a modern, energetic tone. It is the lightest stage by far, so enjoy it for what it is and expect it to change quickly.
In the heart the scent turns darker and stronger. Leather and oud bring the rugged side, saffron adds a spiced shimmer, and sweet raspberry sits against them. FragranceGems says this contrast gives the perfume an unusual depth. Whether that appeals depends on how you feel about oud and leather.
The base of patchouli, amber, moss and caramel is warm, nearly edible in its sweetness, balanced by the earthy character of moss and patchouli. Smell it later in the evening and decide whether you find the caramel comforting or sugary.
Testing it
Wear it on a cool evening on clean skin, one spray on the neck and one on a wrist, and pay attention to the shift from the fruit to the leather and oud. Wear it again on a second evening and see whether the caramel base arrives earlier or later than you expected.
A fit for people who like bold, fruity-dark perfumes with leather and a sweet base, for evenings and special occasions in the cold months. FragranceGems tags it for men and as strong, with autumn and winter as seasons. If you prefer clean, fresh scents, the sample tells you quickly whether this is too much.
Fruit, oud and caramel together can delight or overwhelm, and a list does not tell you which. The grapefruit and pineapple in your vial come from the original bottle, which FragranceGems decants, and the label is ours. This is not an official brand sample, and Rasasi has no part in it. Follow the link on this page for the full bottle.

The top is fruity and the base holds caramel and amber, so there is sweetness at both ends. Leather, oud and moss in between keep it from being plain sugar, and your skin decides the balance.
Oud is one of four heart notes, next to leather, saffron and raspberry. FragranceGems calls the heart darker and stronger, so test it for how present the oud feels on you.
FragranceGems lists autumn and winter. A trial on a mild evening shows whether the fruit makes it workable earlier in the year.
The brand
Rasasi is a perfume house from Dubai whose own site sorts its work into two lines, Oriental and Occidental. FragranceGems describes it as one of the city's most renowned houses and carries, among others, the Hawas series as samples: Eau de Parfum that share a name and a fresh, masculine idea but differ in temperature, from the icy Hawas Ice to the amber-heavy Hawas Highness. A sample set is the only sensible way to tell the Hawas versions apart.

Timely info when item was back in stock. Some confusion with info about shipment updates on gls app but what is important: perfume came in perfect condition!
incredible fast delivery l. the fragrance itself its magnificent, the dry down woody base, is intoxicating. it last on me 10 hours plus. great service great fragrance
Good experience overall. Fast shipping without any incidents. Prices are good as well.
Really happy of my purchase. Serious seller, quality products, fast shipping, large catalog. I will order a lot of more !
Shipping was 5 days to Finland. Customer service was very good. Happy with the product also. Will shop again. Only thing I hope is that you guys would negotiate better price for GLS shipping to Finland. But I know that is not always possible. And I noticed the prices were lower than the competitors so the steep shipping price was not that big of a deal. Good job all in all.
Great shop with a fantastic selection and fast shipping. I was very happy with my order. It would have been a nice touch to receive a little sample, especially as I ordered two full-size products. ;)
Placing the order was very easy. Shipping was very fast. I am completely satisfied.
Plenty of perfumes and very good perfumes. Fast shipping. One negative. Expensive shipping from Netherlands to Greece
A selection of recent reviews in proportion to their star ratings.
